The NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 and NETFS_RREQ_WRITE_TO_CACHE flags aren't used
correctly. The problem is that we try to set them up in the request
initialisation, but we the cache may be in the process of setting up still,
and so the state may not be correct. Further, we secondarily sample the
cache state and make contradictory decisions later.
The issue arises because we set up the cache resources, which allows the
cache's ->prepare_read() to switch on NETFS_SREQ_COPY_TO_CACHE - which
triggers cache writing even if we didn't set the flags when allocating.
Fix this in the following way:
(1) Drop NETFS_ICTX_USE_PGPRIV2 and instead set NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 in
->init_request() rather than trying to juggle that in
netfs_alloc_request().
(2) Repurpose NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 to merely indicate that if caching is
to be done, then PG_private_2 is to be used rather than only setting
it if we decide to cache and then having netfs_rreq_unlock_folios()
set the non-PG_private_2 writeback-to-cache if it wasn't set.
(3) Split netfs_rreq_unlock_folios() into two functions, one of which
contains the deprecated code for using PG_private_2 to avoid
accidentally doing the writeback path - and always use it if
USE_PGPRIV2 is set.
(4) As NETFS_ICTX_USE_PGPRIV2 is removed, make netfs_write_begin() always
wait for PG_private_2. This function is deprecated and only used by
ceph anyway, and so label it so.
(5) Drop the NETFS_RREQ_WRITE_TO_CACHE flag and use
fscache_operation_valid() on the cache_resources instead. This has
the advantage of picking up the result of netfs_begin_cache_read() and
fscache_begin_write_operation() - which are called after the object is
initialised and will wait for the cache to come to a usable state.
Just reverting ae678317b95e[1] isn't a sufficient fix, so this need to be
applied on top of that. Without this as well, things like:
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: {
and:
WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 3621 at fs/ceph/caps.c:3386
may happen, along with some UAFs due to PG_private_2 not getting used to
wait on writeback completion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
